php array_chunk() function syntax

Function: Split the array into new array blocks.

Syntax: array_chunk(array,size,preserve_key)

Parameters:

ParameterDescription
array Required. Specifies the array to use.
size Required. An integer value specifying how many elements each new array contains.
preserve_key Optional. Possible values: true - retain the key names from the original array. false - default. Each result array uses a new array index starting from zero.

Description: Split the array into new array blocks. The number of cells in each array is determined by the size parameter. The last array may have a few fewer elements. The optional parameter preserve_key is a Boolean value that specifies whether the elements of the new array have the same keys as the original array (for associative arrays), or new numeric keys starting from 0 (for indexed arrays). The default is to assign new keys.
